Chapter 123: Blood Debt (3)

At this time, if Guo Shicai and they wanted to rush out, they could still do it, after all, the devil's people were scattered on all sides, and they were a brigade. The artillery brigade of about 800 people was stationed on the front mountain, and there was only one infantry brigade of more than 1,000 people on these three sides.

It was night again, and more than 100 people were hidden, and it was not difficult to escape, but they were protecting 3 or 400 people, women, and children. These people were already panicked, and when the gunshots rang out, they were even more chaotic, most of them not only didn't dare to run, but there were also many people lying on the ground and not moving, which was very bad for Zhong Wantao and Guo Mingshun, who were blocking on both sides.

They are not from the regular army, they are all brave and courageous bandits, and they cannot solve the tactical problems of the army. When facing the local security regiment, it was okay, but when you ran into the elite Japanese army, you immediately saw that it was not good.

The devils on both sides of this gap didn't know that it was the people who rushed out in front, and they thought they were bandits from Qinglong Village. The squad leader is also very smart, while sending people to contact the captain, while copying forward, not attacking from the middle.

Akiki Nakasa, who commanded the attack, didn't know how many people there were on the mountain, but the intelligence said that there were more than 500 people, so these people should be all of Guo Shicai's people, and they must not be allowed to escape.

According to the intelligence of the secret services, the Chinese communist guerrillas entered behind enemy lines, and they developed rapidly, and it is not known whether these people are the New Fourth Army or the Eighth Route Army. The CCP army has always developed local armed forces, and the Jinpu Road is related to the Xuzhou Campaign.

The defeat of Taierzhuang was considered a great shame by the imperial army, and if the Jinpu Road was cut off and Xuzhou attacked, it might fail. Lieutenant General Ogisu gave the order to die, and the Jinpu Road must be secured.

Dazuo did not dare to slack off in the two corners, and Qinglongzhai must be removed. For this reason, two brigades were sent to attack. The order given to Akiki Nakasa in the village is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots and kill everyone.

After receiving the report from the squad leader, he did not attack from both sides, but led his troops to intercept him head-on from the front. From the perspective of military operations, Akiki Muraaka is obviously much more clever than Guo Shicai, and he arranged part of his troops at the foot of the mountain in front of him, and held on to a team of several hundred meters. And the concentration of the forces of the two squadrons on the periphery is to prevent Guo Shicai from breaking through and escaping.

If the forces are completely dispersed, he does not know in which direction the people on the mountain break through, and it may be too late to temporarily concentrate his forces.

Now that he heard the report, he was proud of his arrangement, and the Chinese man was really still so stupid. How could it be an opponent of the Imperial Japanese Army when they were so concentrated to break through? He immediately ordered two squadrons to meet the breaking troops directly.

The devil didn't know that Guo Shicai didn't have so many people, and these people were ordinary people, most of whom were the bereaved relatives of the brothers on the mountain. The people who rushed out of the encirclement in front were blocked by the devils in front, and instead of breaking through and escaping in the dark, they turned around and ran back.

This is also the reason why Guo Shicai's arrangement is not in place, he should have sent people to break through in front, encountered a block to kill a road, and then covered on both sides, this is a breakthrough that leaves no room for breakthrough, since he plans to run, then there is no longer any concern.

But Guo Shicai thought that he could sneak out, after he broke in the back, the devil didn't chase the soldiers, how could he think about breaking it? Besides, there were no troops in front, but the only remaining soldiers were protected on both sides to fight against those blockade devils.

Sneaking out is stealing out, and it must be carefully arranged to prevent making a sound, but Guo Shicai didn't do this. In the end, it was the child's cry that attracted the devil to find out. If he forcibly broke through, then prepare for the breakthrough, use people to break out of the gap, and retreat quickly, but unfortunately he failed to do these two points, and it is doomed to be a tragedy.

There were no troops to break through on the front, but more than a dozen brothers led the way in front, and the devils on both sides attacked as soon as they found out. These people were already flustered, and they were advancing even more slowly, and Guo Mingshun on both sides was busy blocking the devils.

In fact, there is only one Japanese squad on the side, and a dozen people can make the devils dare not approach with a few shots. But everything was not like this, the two men commanded their men to block the devils, and let the people in front run on their own. When he was blocked by the devil brigade, Guo Shicai reacted, and rushed forward with thirty or forty people after his break, wanting to kill them, but unfortunately it was too late.

There were nearly 400 people in the two squadrons of the Japanese army, plus the squads on both sides, the number was already more than 500 people, and the devils from other directions were also gathering here, and Guo Shicai and they were surrounded by many people.

There are no fortifications here, there is no terrain and danger, surrounded by devils, Guo Shicai can no longer take care of these ordinary people, and takes his subordinates and some people, retreats while fighting, and retreats.

How could Akiki Muraka, who has a very high level of command, let Guo Shicai get his wish, and ordered the Japanese army to make a detour from both sides to block the way for Guo Shicai to retreat. can only rely on rocks and trees to block the attack of devils.

Zhong Wantao crawled to Guo Shicai's side: "Big brother, I'll rush forward, lead away the devil, and you kill from the side." ”

Guo Shicai had a sad expression on his face, he kindly brought these brothers and family members over, but he harmed them. If they hadn't come, they wouldn't have died, and now there are only about 30 people around them, and a few family members, and everyone else is dead. There are less than thirty of his own brothers left, trapped here, what face does he have to escape? said to Zhong Wantao: "Tell the brothers, disperse and break through, and rush out one by one, and say that I, Guo Shicai, am sorry for them." ”

Zhong Wantao knew that the eldest brother was determined to die: "Big brother, the green mountains left behind, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as you live, you can gather your brothers and avenge us, Xue Ru, a stinky girl, will not be saved when she dies again." ”

Guo Shicai shook his head: "Don't blame her, I'm afraid she wants to save it, and it's too late." From Chaoxian County to here, it is not close, once the devils know it, they have to intercept them, it is better to listen to Second Brother Qiu and participate in the Snow Fox. ”

At the beginning, Qiu Wen proposed that Guo Shicai should not go back and join the Snow Fox Corps, which was the same anti-Japanese fight against devils, but Guo Shicai did not want to participate. He was sad and resentful, he didn't want to resist Japan at all, he participated in the battle of Dingyuan for his brothers, and he attacked the railway to get money and materials, how could he join the Snow Fox Brigade with this mentality, so he left Chaoxian County and returned to Zhang Baling.

Now that he is cornered, he regrets it when he thinks about it, but what's the point? Gritted his teeth and said: "Don't say it, Mingshun, you bring a few people, Wan Tao takes a few people, rush out, we are divided into three directions, whoever goes out counts, if you can go out, you will go to Chao County to meet." ”

Guo Mingshun looked at the thirty or so trembling people behind him and said, "What should they do?" ”

Guo Shicai said: "Let them surrender, the devils should not kill them, but we will not surrender, let's act." ”

Zhong Wantao and Guo Mingshun didn't argue anymore, it made no sense to say anything at this time, the devil didn't attack, but there was a voice in the distance, it seemed that they were mobilizing troops, and there was no hope at all. None of them thought about surrendering, they were bandits, bandits, but not traitors. This is what the eldest brother said, and there is a way to steal, this is the bottom line.

There is nothing to study, and Guo Shicai can't say anything to boost morale, in fact, even if the thirty brothers surrender, he won't blame them. looked at these brothers who were nervously paying attention to the distance, and said: "Guo Shicai is sorry for you, who doesn't want to fight now, I can understand if you surrender, if you don't want to surrender, rush out with me." ”

No one spoke, no one was stupid, even if they planned to surrender, they would not say it, so more than thirty people were divided into three directions, and Guo Shicai shouted: "Brothers, kill out." ”

Thirty or so men shouted and shot out, but they were greeted by machine guns and rifle bullets.

Surrounded Guo Shicai and them here, Akiki in the village didn't want to rush into the woods to attack.

He is a qualified soldier, and it is not clear how many more Guo Shicai still has. This gang of bandits is very tenacious, not many of them are caught and surrendered, almost all of them are killed with bayonets, and if they get to this point, and then attack with the lives of the soldiers of the imperial army, he is guilty of a crime and will be dealt with by military law. There are a lot of woods on this side of the hill, but it is not dangerous, and it is surrounded by open land, and there is no hope of escape.

There is no food in it, there is no water source, they can't hold out even for a day, and when the morning dawns, if they attack again, they don't want to live. Sure enough, Guo Shicai and they couldn't wait until dawn, because that would have no chance. If it was still dark, there was still a possibility of rushing out, so the order was given and the breakthrough began. Akiki in the village is just outside the woods, waiting for them with machine guns and rifles.

There was nothing to think about in the battle, and in less than half an hour, when the sky was shining, there was silence inside and outside the mountains, and the battle was over.

In the morning light, the Japanese army searched the mountains from four directions with bayonets and dew, and those who surrendered were escorted out, and then there were corpses, and a few surrendered bandits began to help the devils identify the corpses.

When the sun poked his head out, a tired man nodded and said: "Taijun, Guo Shicai is dead, and his most proud subordinate Zhong Wantao has also been found, but there is no body of Guo Shicai's brother Guo Mingshun, he escaped." ”

Looking at the more than thirty people who were surrounded by devils, both men and women, a trace of fierceness flashed in the eyes of Akiki in the village, and he said to a captain beside him: "Kill them all, enter Qinglong Village to search, and burn down here." ”

The captain stood up: "Hi." Turning his head and waving his hand to the soldiers beside him, the Japanese soldiers rushed up. Originally, these people who were hiding in the woods thought that they had surrendered and that there would be no more danger, they were not from Qinglong Village, but just ordinary people. But the devil still wants to kill them, whether it is regret or fear, he can only die unwillingly under the devil's bayonet.

Akiki in the village didn't react at all, he completely wiped out Qinglong Village according to the requirements of the team, absolutely thoroughly. The Great Japanese Imperial Army wanted to let the people of China know that there was only one way to die against the Imperial Army.

He gathered his troops to search the mountain, looking for whether there were any living people, and an hour later, thick smoke and fire rose in the direction of Qinglong Village, and the devils could not find the living people, and began to burn down the place.

Wei Ming and the others arrived first, but he was only a reconnaissance team, and when he understood the situation, he immediately withdrew from the outskirts of Qinglong Village and sent a telegram to Xue Ru to confirm the truth of the situation. The two brigades of the devils have occupied the front village of Qinglong Village, and Guo Shicai has suffered heavy casualties and retreated to the back mountain. The devils attack very fiercely, and they have a posture that they will never give up until they are destroyed.

When Xue Ru, who was in the Jiepai set, was sure that it was true, he ordered the three squadrons behind him to rush directly to Huangcaopo, and he also rushed here with these people, wanting to join Wei Ming and them. When Xue Ru and the others arrived, the sky was already bright, and the three squadron leaders of Dai Zong and the others in the back had not yet arrived. In Huangcaopo, Xue Ru didn't see Wei Ming: "Kimberly-Clark, where is Captain Wei?" ”

Kimberly said: "Last night, there was a battle in the direction of the mountain behind Qinglongzhai, and Captain Wei and they went to reconnoitre, whether Guo Shicai and they broke through. The captain hasn't come back yet? ”

Xue Ru said to Ji Bing: "Turn on the radio and see where Deputy Captain Dai is?" ”

Ji Bing agreed, set up a radio station, and a question came from the sentinel in the distance, and after a while, Wei Ming came back with more than a dozen people, Xue Ru saw that Wei Ming's face was quite ugly, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Wei Ming said in a low voice: "We are late, last night Guo Shicai led the remnants to break through and failed, and they were all wiped out by the devils, and Qinglong Village no longer exists." ”

Xue Ru was stunned for a moment, since he did this, why did he still let Qiu Wen beg himself to save them? Besides, how could the whole army be wiped out if it broke through at night? If you can't rush out, you can go back, Xue Ru came so soon, that is, he was worried that Guo Shicai would not be able to hold on, seeing that Wei Ming's face was wrong, he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Wei Ming slammed his fist on the trunk of the tree: "Little devil, I want to kill them all." ”

As Wei Ming spoke, Xue Ru's face was also murderous, and the anger in his chest became more and more intense, knowing all the things that happened in Qinglong Village.

Wei Ming knew so much because he ran into a person, it was Guo Mingshun, who was seriously injured, and he thought he could rush out with someone, but he still didn't rush out. Under the desperate rush of several brothers, he broke out of the devil's encirclement, but he was shot three times, seriously injured and unconscious, and rolled into the grass.

Because it was dark, the devil didn't find him, and after dawn, the devil searched the mountains and didn't clean the battlefield, so Guo Mingshun was not found. But he also knew that he would not survive, and these three bullets were doomed to his death.

He crawled out of the grass and wanted to leave, but ran into Wei Ming, who came to reconnoitre. Because there is a battle here, Wei Ming is also very careful, and accidentally found the seriously injured Guo Mingshun, when he knew Wei Ming's identity, Guo Mingshun only had to lament: "Big brother didn't know that you could really come, otherwise you wouldn't have broken through." ”

Wei Ming came back, his face was so ugly, on the one hand, he learned that the reason why Qinglong Village did not retreat was that there were more than 1,000 people, and on the other hand, he also knew that none of the people in Qinglong Village survived. At the same time, he also regretted very much, if he came to reinforce last night, maybe these people could still rush out of some of it, all this made him sad and hateful.

A deep voice said: "It's all my fault, I didn't participate in the war, even Guo Mingshun died in the end, according to what I know, the people and armed forces of Qinglongzhai have no survivors." ”

Xue Ru forcibly suppressed the anger surging in his heart: "What's the situation with the devil?" ”

Wei Ming said: "The devils are the 65th Brigade and the 3rd Artillery Brigade of the 3rd Wing, they are now searching the mountain, and they may soon evacuate here." When I came back, I saw smoke and fire in the direction of the cottage, and the devils were burning down the cottage, that is, they were ready to retreat. ”

Xue Ru said: "Retreat? I want them all to stay and avenge the brothers and people of Qinglongzhai. ”

"yes, we can't let them go." Wei Ming also said resentfully.

Xue Ru looked at Ji Bing, and he sent a telegram very quickly: "Deputy Dai and they have entered Dayang Village and are rushing here, and they will arrive in about two hours." ”
